Thanks Allison, so glad you like it! It was such a great pattern to work from.

Thank you Hollie. I can't take credit for the design though. My quilt is based on a fabulous pattern by Allison of Cluck. Cluck. Sew.

That's great Fran, I'm sure they do have happy customers like you, and lots of them, and so they should. I guess where I'm coming from is that when a company has that many unhappy customers, and they're mostly all unhappy about the same kind of thing, there's clearly something that's just not working the way it should be, that the company isn't being responsible for.

Thank you so much to everyone who's reading and commenting on my posts about this. Really appreciate knowing that, even though I suspected as much, I'm not the only one who's been through this kind of thing with them. I am amazed though at just how many of us disgruntled never-to-return-to-HOP customers are out there! Wonder if anyone there does any market research on their brand's standing in the fabric-buying community.

Hi Cynthia, you're so right! I just went online to check out the "My Account" section of their site and the first thing that struck a dischord was the way they've listed my original order as "shipped complete". Nothing of the sort! The guy I spoke to this morning told me there are several pieces still on the way to me, two of which haven't even arrived in their warehouse, so I don't know how they can have listed the order as completely shipped! So bizarre that the guy could say to me that their system is not confusing!

Thanks Staci, I hope so. They actually did refund the shipping charge immediately, so that part was OK. It's all the rest of it, and the assumption that we all should be fine with how they operate, that's what gets under my skin a little.

Thanks Tisha. That seems like good, sound business practice. When I ran our retail/wholesale scrapbook manufacturing business, we'd do the same thing. I was always in communication with our customers. Well, I'm up early this morning to put together an email to send to Hancock's with the details of what I've received, what I've been charged for, and the discrepancies, and we'll see from there what happens. Stay tuned!
